ALBUM REVIEW
FAVERAVOLA is a band made by ex 70s musicians from Treviso - Italy (Le Tarme, Diamond Red, Opera prima). After 30 years they re-group and release "La Contea dei Cento Castagni". An excellent italian symphonic prog with strong medieval-folk hints, with clear references to important acts such as Le Orme (their acoustic repertoire mainly, not their bombastic one, it seems), Angelo Branduardi and Il Castello di Atlante. But also to other important english bands as The Moody Blues. Vocals by Franco Violo ex Asgard and ex Helreid. Aldo Tagliapietra (Le Orme) also appears as guest giving his voice to the wise spirit of the river. (RYM)
